Mission Connection Magazine
Mission Connection is packed with ideas from the world over. Mission Connection is a free monthly electronic publication of NMI; it is a resource exchange for NMI leaders within the local church.
Subscriptions to Mission Connection are free, and anyone may subscribe to the electronic magazine. To subscribe or unsubscribe, go to the Nazarene.org Subscription page, enter the required information, select 'Mission Connection Magazine' in the bottom section, and click the 'Save' button.
For those mission leaders who cannot receive the magazine via e-mail, consider asking a young leader in your church to receive it and deliver it to you; request a friend, family member, or church office worker to sign up on your behalf or contact your district president to see if he or she would mail a copy to you.
The magazine has also incorporated “Among the Nations” (www.nazareneblogs.org/amongthenations), a blog that allows readers to submit questions and adaptations of the ideas found in the magazine. Think of it as an interactive part of Mission Connection.
